Big anger from Mathieu Chabert, after the draw of Berrichonne football (1-1) against Bourg-en-Bresse this Friday, February 25. Coach Castelroussin is very annoyed following the denial of two Berry goals, because the scorers were judged offside (Kévin Fortuné in the 65th minute, and Ferris N’Goma in the 88th). “It’s a scandal (…) We have to stop stealing from people (…) I have nothing to reproach my players (…) we saw players who fought (.. .) a tactical ping pong“says the Berrichon coach.
The vice tightens
The more the championship days progress, the more the pressure increases for the teams at the top or bottom of the table. Regarding Berrichonne football with these too many missteps on the outside, she must now lose as little as possible to always hope to grab the first two places in the general classification, see the third synonymous with a play-off with the eighteenth in league 2 in the round trip.
A balanced start
The start of the game is very balanced. The only alert after ten minutes of play is the free kick in the form of a mini-corner from Thibaut Vargas. The former Montpellier player frames his shot but the opposing goalkeeper deflects for a corner 0-1 (10th). The game is interrupted by faults on both sides, due to a commitment of the twenty-two players, but the score still does not change. The proof: still not the slightest opportunity in twenty minutes (0-0). The minutes go by but the two teams often confuse speed with haste. Romain Basque’s strike which grazes the crossbar wakes up the public but finally half-time is whistled with the logical score of 0 to 0.

The second half started with a cold snap on Gaston-Petit. With a low shot Jeffrey Quarshie opened the scoring for Bourg-en-Bresse at the entrance to the penalty area. The former Bourges 18 player allows his team to widen the gap in the standings (0-1) in the 51st minute of play.
Thibaut Vargas equalizes one everywhere
The return of Ferris N’Goma and Kévin Fortuné is good. But the equalizer arrives by Thibaut Vargas well placed on a hazardous clearing from the Bressans. The ball hits the crossbar, but ends up in the back of the net. Everything is relaunched, the Berri can believe again in a 1-1 success (74th).
A few minutes from the end of the match, a false hope with this goal from Ferris N’Gomma, which is finally refused for an offside position. The two teams leave on this draw which suits the Bressans more than the Berrichons.
Next week, the Berri footballers will make a new long trip to the promoted Sedan. The Ardennes club trained by a certain Olivier Saragaglia is currently having a good season. This Sedan Berri will not lack stakes.
